Every time I passed by this zone at Crans-Montana, Switzerland in the past few years I always thought to myself, “Wow, someone really needs to film a segment in there.” Then on second glance, I thought, “Actually, it’s kind of gnarly. I’m not sure how anyone could actually pull it off.”

Ladies, gentlemen and others, please allow me to introduce a man who needs no introduction: Candide Thovex, here to make all of our dreams come true. I will just shut up now and let you press play. As an adroit commenter on Candide’s Instagram noted, “Candide posts, and the whole world stops.”
